I wasn't allowed because of my weight, I scored the highest AsVAP score in my recruiters office ever and they said I was too fat, mind you I was head of an orienteering team running a minimum of 6.5 kms and still it wasn't good enough.... I auditioned for the army national band got in, army national choir called me and I was spotted by the amy nation armed exhibition team. I was also In the JROTC program and retired at the rank of C/1SG and the most decorated ever....STILL I WASN"T GOOD ENOUGH.....I trained and even lost from 320lbs to 245 and I was still heavy......and I was supposed to start up past an E-5 and I did it all in training but they still wanted me to be lighter and I scored ONE question wrong on the ASVAP......So I stopped continuing with it and its horrible......I would have been an E-9 for starting if I was admitted to the army national choir so I know your pain.....all to well.....
